Frank Ape

Frank Ape is a free-spirited creature created by New York artist Brandon Sines in 2011. Born in the streets of NYC, Frank represents positivity, curiosity, and self-expression, living outside the limits of race, age, and societal norms. Through vibrant and whimsical artwork, Frank spreads messages of love, acceptance, and community. Through Frank Ape, Sines invites audiences to embrace their quirks and create a world where compassion leads.

Frank’s presence spans from city streets to international platforms. A 100-foot mural at the World Trade Center called "Everyone's Different and Everyone's The Same" stands as a bold symbol of unity and creative spirit. A global collaboration with GAP brought Frank’s message of curiosity and joy to audiences around the world. Most recently, the release of "There's Magic Inside All of Us," a beautifully illustrated book extends Frank’s impact into storytelling and personal exploration.
